Vinyl pressings
by Cheap Trick · 1980
All Shook Up was first pressed on vinyl in 1980. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
25 pressings came out in 1980, the album's first year, in 17 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

30 vinyl pressings of All Shook Up are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1980 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, UK, Canada, Italy and more. One of them is Epic FE 36498.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FE 36498, EPC 86124, EPC 84345, ELPS 4068) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL 36498-3E tone 1S A5 and BL 36498-3F tone 1 S B1-. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
